Asked by jaiswalsindhuli717 | 12 Nov, 2018, 08:18: PM
Expert Answer
Functional Groups:

All organic compounds are derivatives of hydrocarbons.
The derivatives are obtained by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with some other atom or a group
of atoms.
The new set of compounds formed after replacement has functions different from the parent hydrocarbon.
 
Functional group:
An atom or a group of atoms present in the molecules, which determines the characteristics property of the organic compounds, is called the functional group.
